Web-based Interactive Maps
Topics: responsive. True interactivity: zoom in, zoom out, markers, pop-ups, move around, etc.
Code: R, Python / Tool: RStudio, Jupyter

An Internet connection is necessary to load and refresh the maps.
Zoom in, zoom out, click on markers to see pop-ups, hover over markers to see pop-ups, move around…
